Purple Garden

This photograph was taken at Stan Hywet in one of the many formal gardens. Stan Hywet is a mansion located in Akron, Ohio, that is open for tours. This picture captures only a smart part of the 70 acres of beautiful landscape and gardens. On the left is a unique looking bird feeder. From there the eye goes up the hill of purple-tinted mulch and takes in the beauty of the garden. The flowers are not in bloom, but there is just enough of a yellow-green from the stems to compliment the purple of the soil.
